Coach Joel Quenneville was angry after Game 2, he said. Captain Jonathan Toews said he was “pissed off.”

Their effort to channel their anger backfired Saturday in Game 3 in a 4-3 loss to the Kings. The Hawks fall behind 2-1 in the Western Conference finals heading into Monday’s Game 4 at the Staples Center.

Despite two first-period goals by Toews, the Kings scored three unanswered goals in the second and third periods.

The Blackhawks had hoped to exact revenge after losing Game 2 at the United Center 6-2 behind six unanswered goals by the Kings.
